Single mum Mel Dutton, 37, caused a storm with her 50 Shades Of Chav online posts.

Now the raunchy stories have been turned into a book, 50 Shades Of Mel and Barry, describing her X-rated escapades with her “chav” partner.

And it is proving so popular her publishers now want her to come up with another volume.

The mum-of-five was inspired to write by the success of 50 Shades Of Grey, the erotic romance by E.L.

James charting the sex games between a rich businessman and a pretty college graduate.

But instead of feasting on oysters and Martinis before hopping between the sheets, Mel has sex romps in back alleys behind her local Iceland store and pulls boyfriends while waiting in the JobCentre queue.

In one extract, she writes: “Life felt great. The combined sound of him slurpin’ his Stella and the squeakiness from his Nike Air Max bouncing up and down sent a shiver down my spine. Well, actually he’d dribbled some Stella on me back but it only added to the excitement.”

Mel Dutton, 37

Mel, who grew up on estates in London and Tyneside, said: “The book is mainly about going without and struggling with money.

“There’s a chapter called The Bailiffs, which is actually based on my life growing up.

“Whenever there was a knock on the door it was like musical statues – someone would turn the telly off and me and my brothers would freeze or dive behind the settee in case it was the TV licence, bailiffs, the rent woman…it was just a part of life.

“I thought everyone went through that. It was only when I got older that I realised it’s not really normal.”

She said she used the stories she heard from hundreds of friends to create the Mel and Barry characters.

And while some were exaggerated or made up,catching your man having sex with a piece of fruit really happened to a pal of hers.

She said: “I know someone who had their end away with a Jaffa orange. That whole chapter was based on that one sentence, so it just flowed, pardon the pun!”

Mel, from the Dunston area of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, added: “Mel and Barry have been an escape for me and a way of laughing at myself.

"It just gives an insight into life on a council estate but I mask it with humour." Mel said she now hears people chatting about the raunchy stories from her book while she is waiting at the bus stop in Dunston.

In it she tells how Mel is given makeup as a Mother’s Day gift from her son Stevie-Leigh-Charlie-Harrie-Larrie-Leroy, who nicked it from Superdrug.

“I looked like Kat out of EastEnders.

My Barry always said I looked like her with me make-up on but he’d always get his Ks and Ps the wrong way round,” she writes.
